Product Description

A lightweight, versatile personal filtration system, the second-generation Sawyer MINI Water Filter fits in the palm of your hand and has a total field weight of just 2 ounces. Perfect for everything from camping with the kids to traveling abroad where tap and bottle water can't be trusted, the tiny MINI provides 0.1 micron absolute filtration for clean drinking water on the go — filtering out bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics. The MINI filter removes 7 log (99.99999%) of all bacteria (like salmonella) as well as other harmful bacteria which causes cholera and E. coli and 6 log (99.9999%) of all protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium. These removal rates equal or exceed other filter options. EPA guidelines allow ten times more protozoa left in the water than Sawyer MINI filters allow. The MINI also filters out 100% of microplastics. The MINI 0.1 micron absolute filter houses a cluster of micro-fibrous tubes which use similar technology found in medical dialysis. As water passes through the side walls of the tubes, harmful bacteria and protozoa are trapped on the outer walls so you can be confident your water is safe to drink. Great for outdoor recreation, hiking, camping, scouting, domestic and international travel, and emergency prepping, the Sawyer MINI gives you a number of ways to access clean water. Attach it to the included drinking pouch, use the included straw to drink directly from your water source, connect it to hydration pack tubing (sold separately), or screw it onto standard disposable bottles (28mm thread). Since 1984, Sawyer has used technological advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing, water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection.

Ready for the Backcountry

Filtered Water Anywhere

Easy Drinking

Sawyer International

Ready for the Backcountry

The ultra-light, easily packable Sawyer MINI water filter fits in the palm of your hand and weighs just 2 ounces — making it ideal for ultralight backpacking and camping, as well as emergency preparedness.

Each MINI comes with a durable, collapsible 16-ounce reusable squeeze pouch that rolls up when empty, so it won't take up space in your pack.

Filtered Water Anywhere

The reusable 0.1 absolute micron MINI water filter produces clean water from freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams, as well as faucets in your home or hotel room while traveling (domestic and international).

The MINI also comes with a straw that enables you to drink filtered water directly from a water source.

Easy Drinking

To start filtering water, simply fill the squeeze pouch with water from your water source, then attach the MINI filter onto the pouch and start drinking right from the MINI or squeeze into a water bottle to share with others.

The MINI also attaches onto water or soda bottles with a standard threaded top, and you can attach inline on a hydration pack to filter water from a bladder (sold separately).

Sawyer's International Mission

Sawyer believes everyone deserves access to clean water — from hikers in the backcountry to indigenous people groups in the remotest corners of the world.

For over 10 years, Sawyer has been working with a variety of charities and churches who are on a mission to make a long-lasting impact in the lives of those around the world without access to clean drinking water.

High Performance Water Filtration

fiber strength

absolute

protected fibers

tested 3 times

Hollow Fiber Membrane

Sawyer’s water filters are comprised of tiny hollow fiber membranes that allow water to enter into their core through tiny micro-pores.

Thicker fiber walls combined with a smaller inner diameter make Sawyer fibers 75% stronger* than typical hollow fiber membranes, giving you a fast flow and enabling the filter to be continually backwashed forcefully to restore up to 98% of the original flow rate.

* Clean Water Institute of Calvin University; July, 2018

0.1 Absolute Micron Filtering

Each Sawyer water filter features 0.1 micron absolute filtration, meaning there is no pore size larger than 0.1 micron in size.

This makes it nearly impossible for microplastics, harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi (which cause Cholera and Typhoid) to pass through.

Fiber Protection

Sawyer's hollow fiber membranes are fully encased and sealed to keep them protected. When fibers are not enclosed, physical damage of exposed fibers could allow harmful pathogens to pass through.

Tested 3 Times

Every Sawyer filter is performance tested three separate times during the manufacturing process for your protection.

Testing occurs after the fiber element construction and twice after casing assembly to ensure no harmful pathogens leak through the sealed case or internal O-rings.

    5 Stars
    Great compact backpacking filter, especially as gravity system.
    This is a great option for a light weight, compact filter!I was looking for a new backpacking filter. I have used various gravity and pump systems in the past and wanted something smaller and lighter fit in my pack. I do not expect to use it on top of a water bottle as that seems slightly awkward to me.I was a little concerned the first because I thought it would only work as a squeeze system which as some note seems like it could be a little slow or awkward at times. Having used it as a squeeze filter with the supplied bag as well as with a platypus bag, I was satisfied with the speed and ease of use when squeezing. However, I think this filter really shines when used as a drip system (See attached pictures).I used it with a 1 liter platypus bag and I found that I could hang the bag with the filter on it from a cord with a tarp clip and let it gravity filter into a Nalgene bottle. If I position the lower tip of the filter just inside the rim of a Nalgene bottle the wind can't blow it off target and I can do something else while my water filters. 1 liter filters pretty quickly and it's much more convenient than holding it. I simply keep the filter, backflushing syringe and the Platypus bag with some cordage in a pocket in my pack. I have the cord tied in a loop with a taut line hitch so I can quickly adjust the height of the filter when I throw it over a branch so that the filter hangs just inside the top of the bottle.I found the flow to be quite adequate as you may be able to see from my pictures. I back flushed after the first use as recommended and then about once a day on the trail after that.Regarding the issue that some have had with leakage at the threads, I did have some trouble the very first time I tried to attach it to the supplied the bag and also to my platypus bag. I found it had to be careful to make sure the threads were going on straight and not at an angle. Once I got it lined up correctly, it went on very easily every time after that with no leakage. I have used it for several gallons of water on the trail now, averaging 5 or 6 litres per day for drinking and cooking.
